Nigerian media personality Toke Makinwa has clapped back at a Snapchat user who criticised the way she shares photos of her daughter, after he accused her of practising what he called performative privacy by only posting parts of the child’s body on social media.

The user questioned her pattern of showing the girl’s legs, arms, and back in her posts, saying it made no sense if she truly intended to keep the child private.

The netizen stated that although the child belongs to Toke Makinwa, she should keep her completely away from social media rather than posting small glimpses that, in her opinion, looked like attention-seeking disguised as privacy.

He wrote:

“Is there a particular reason why you show Yaya’s legs, arms, and back view? I mean, it’s your page, your kids and all, but I term this performative privacy. If you wanna be private, be private all the way and keep her entirely out of the media. Not like hiding her, but keeping away from the media entirely. Showing bits and bobs of her presents as attention-seeking, wrapped in a ‘keeping it private’ delusion. I respect you and everything you do, but this keeps going over my head. I guess not my circus, not my money, though. Happy Sunday”.

Responding via her Snapchat story, Toke Makinwa dismissed the criticism and told the netizen to focus on his own choices, calling the lengthy message about her child’s identity strange and unnecessary.
